HBS Archives

The HBS Archives record the history of the Harvard Business School from its founding in 1908 to the current day. The published and unpublished materials included in the collection trace the continuing developments and innovations in business education pioneered at the School. Major components of the collection include the teaching files and research papers of HBS faculty as well as the official records of all administrative departments. Class notes, student publications, event posters, and other materials vividly capture student life on campus. The Archives are particularly rich in photographic images that illustrate the history of HBS, including faculty members, students, the campus, and special events.
